Thankfully, this strange occurrence has an explanation from psychologists. Now, amnesia is a major medical disorder that causes people to forget important details,
experiences, and memories. Swifties shouldn’t be too worried about post-concert forgetfulness, according to Dr. Michelle Phillips, a senior professor in music psychology at the Royal Northern College of Music.
“It’s improbable that fans have no recall at all of attending a performance,” Dr. Phillips told BBC News. “In fact, it’s likely to be one of those memories they cherish for a lifetime.”
“Time flies when you’re having fun” is a perfect metaphor for post-concert forgetfulness, according to Dr. Phillips,
who explains that fans may have a sensation that “time has suddenly passed” after being swept up in the thrill of the show.
